CONNECTIONS
1.
Place
for
Installation
Ensure
to
place

unit
in
a
flat
surface
where
it
is
free
form
humidity,
vibration,
high
temperature
and
not
exposed
to
direct
sunlight.
Also,
be
careful
not
to
place
the
unit
in
a
highly
enclosed
area
without
adequate
ventilation
around
the
unit.
Do
not
block
the
ventilation
openings
at
the
top
and
the
bottom
of
the
unit
to
prevent
excessive
heat
built
up.
2.
Electrical
Requirements
Your
equipment
has
been
designed
to
be
powered
by
the
local
AC
Voltage.
Check
the
setting
of
your
unit
by
looking
at
the
rear
panel
name
plate.
Never
try
to
plug
the
unit
into
an
outlet
of
higher
voltage,
as
this
causes
a
serious
fire
hazard.
Consult
your
dealer
if
in
doubt.
3.
Connecting
the
Power
Cord
Always
handle
the
Power
cord
with
care.
Ensure
to
con¬
nect
the
cord
to
the
household
wall
outlet.
When
plugging
and
unplugging
make
sure
the
power
switch
on
the
unit
is
turned
off.
4.
Do
not
Open
the
Cabinet
There
are
no
user-serviceable
parts
inside
the
cabinet
of
the
unit.
Do
not
attempt
to
open
the
cabinet
or
tamper
with
the
internal
components.
If
water
or
foreign
object
falls
inside
the

Stereo
and
Mono
Operations
The
power
amplifier
can
be
used
as
either
normal
stereo
or
bridged
mono
amplifier.
The
unit
comes
factory-set
as
the
stereo
amplifier
with
the
slide
BRIDGED
switch
on
the
back
of
the
unit
set
at
the
STEREO
position.
Do
not
tamper
with
the
switch,
unless
you
wish
to
use
the
unit
as
the
mono
amplifier
in
which
case
reset
the
switch
to
the
MONO
position.
Do
not
connect
speakers
before
the
switch
posi¬
tion
is
confirmed
set
correctly
according
to
your
choice.
NOTE:
Two
RB960BX
bridged
mono
amplifiers
must
be
used
for
a
stereo
operation
with
full
compatibility.
7.
AC
Outlet
Receptacles
(applicable
to
U.S.A.,
Canada,
and
where
approved
for
the
usage)
There
are
two
sets
of
the
AC
outlets
on
the
back
panel
of
the
unit,
through
which
power
can
be
supplied
to
equip¬
ments
connected
to
the
unit
such
as
your
turntable
and
CD
player,
Each
AC
outlet
is
the
switched
type,
so
turning
the
power
on
and
off
is
controlled
by
the
power
switch
of
the
unit.
The
total
power
consumption
of
the
equipments
must
not
exceed
the
rating
of
200
watts
maximum.
Never
connect
a
power
amplifier
to
the
AC
outlet.
CONNECTIONS
1.
Connecting
Components
The
illustration
shows
what
audio
components
you
can
connect
to
the
rear
panel
of
the
unit
and
how
they
should
be
properly
hooked
up
via
RCA
type
pin
cords.
Ensure
that
the
Left
and
the
Right
channels
are
correctly
matched
between
the
RCA
type
sockets
of
the
unit
and
those
on
the
components.
2.
Connecting
Speakers
a)
Use
speakers
with
impedance
ratings
of
4
to
8
ohms.
However,
if
you
wish
to
operate
the
unit
in
the
bridged
mode
as
the
mono
power
amplifier
with
only
one
speaker,
ensure
the
speaker
is
rated
8
ohms
minimum.
Never
con¬
nect
a
speaker
with
lower
impedance
than
8
ohms
in
this
case.
The
speaker
impedance
is
indicated
on
the
back
or
in
the
instruction
manual
of
the
speaker.
b)
Do
not
use
speakers
that
have
very
high
capacitive
load,
say,
over
0.1
microfarads,
as
it
may
cause
a
damage
to
the
power
amplifier.
Normally,
most
speakers
are
low
capacitance
type,
but
there
are
a
few
which
do
have
excessively
high
capacitance.
c)
Use
proper
speaker
cords
normally
your
dealer
will
recommend,
with
as
low
capacitance
content
as
possible.
The
speaker
terminal
posts
provided
on
the
back
of
the
unit
can
also
take
banana
plugs.
d)
If
connecting
the
speaker
cords
directly
with
the
bare
wire
ends,
suggest
you
strip
about
1cm
of
the
insulation
shield
cover
from
the
ends
of
the
speaker
cords,
Twist
any
exposed
strands
tightly,
and
insert
the
ends
properly
to
the
terminal
posts.
e)
When
using
the
unit
as
the
stereo
power
amplifier:
make
sure
the
BRIDGED
switch
is
set
correctly
at
the
STEREO
position.
Connect
the
Left
and
the
Right
Channels
correctly
between
the
unit
and
the
speakers,
and
ensure
for
each
channel
the
"
+
"
and
the
are
also
correctly
matched.
Check
that
the
speaker
cord
ends
(exposed
tips)
on
the
terminal
posts
are
not
stray
and
touching
one
another,
